Vacation

I recently spent a few days at the beach. A quiet little sea shore town called Brigantine, located in New Jersey. Invited by friends of ours, my friend Liz and I set out on an excursion to see the glory of the ocean. A place I've loved ever since I first caught sight of it at the age of 8. There's just something about the rhythmic rolling of the waves lapping the shore line, that memorizes me. As we drove onto the island of Brigantine, the smell of salt water and sea life permeated the air we breathed. The familiar sound of gulls calling in the distance and the sand edged roadside, rose my senses to high alert. Awaiting with eager excitement, that first glimpse of the vast and mighty expanse of ocean laid before me; my eyes longed and strained to see it's beauty. To me there are few better moments in life. Liz and I found the house where we were to stay. It was a small and very homey place with a big, open front porch. The perfect place for reading and talking to God first...
I'm Beach Bound!!! I've been asking Jesus to meet me there, in the rising sun and the grains of warm sand under my feet, the broken shells and the ever loyal waves that lap the shore in their consistent lulling rhythm; where I can marvel and wonder at the beauty of Our Lord... Seeking refuge at the seashore! Grains of sand, seashells whole and broken. Waves lapping the sandy beach. Gods magnificence spoken! Psalm 145:5 - They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
